I have visited this place in person and have ordered takeout a couple of times. I enjoy the food. But this last takeout, no chopsticks, no soy sauce, no napkins, etc. I probably will pick another place in the future where you don’t have to pay for items typically given with Chinese takeout.

Fantastic food, very flavorful, the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. I have been coming to this spot since 1999 when it was Nirvana and the various iterations since then, glad to have this place be a spot I will frequent again for hopefully years to come. 👌
